Tommy Gun Wizards – Mobsters, Magic and Mayhem

I’m thrilled to announce that I’m drawing Tommy Gun Wizards, a comic series written and colored by the Eisner Award-winning artist Christian Ward, who is now making his debut as a writer!

Dee Cunniffe is helping Chris with the colors and Hassan Otsmane-Elhaou is lettering the book.

Tommy Gun Wizards explores an alternate 1930s Chicago, where Al Capone isn’t dealing in alcohol, but in magic.

The series will launch from Dark Horse Comics this August.
